Rather than filling your online cart with the latest bottles, pumps & soothers...
Why not book in for a Prenatal 1:1 Appointment?
We can answer your breastfeeding questions and concerns
and offer recommendations for what is most beneficial to have on hand when baby comes.

It was a quick trip for Karrie, but a great one! She headed off to to Toronto this past weekend to help share clinical knowledge and evidence based information on lactation and myofunctional therapy for dental providers seeking education on tethered oral tissues. We love working and teaching collaboratively with other disciplines and are thankful for the interdisciplinary learning opportunities American Laser Study Club provides.

Prenatal education for breastfeeding can make all the difference in helping you feel empowered and supported as you begin this journey with your new little one!

Instead of spending your precious time and money buying all the latest feeding "gadgets" why not spend an evening with us gathering tips, tricks and research based principles to help you make informed decisions for your unique family.

Our course is informative, interactive and above all a supportive and kind space for you to learn and ask questions.

"In general, it is best to involve experts in functional, such as a lactation consultant for breastfeeding, a dentist of oral or dental development, a speech language pathologist or occupational therapist for swallow and feeding issues, a speech language pathologist for speech concerns, an ear nose and throat doctor (otolaryngologist or ENT) for breathing issues. Health professionals who have sought out extra training and experience in tethered oral tissues will be in a better position to recognize symptoms, diagnose, and treat patients with this condition. Often, a team of these and other health professionals are needed to reach a diagnosis to help you find treatment for the root cause of these issues."

👆 is how care should be provided for families struggling with restricted tethered oral tissues. We are thankful here in Alberta to work collaboratively with so many of our medical, dental and rehab colleagues. Tongue tie is not diagnosed by a quick peek under the 👅 proper diagnosis requires a functional, team approach. Tongue tie does not just impact babies, you don't "grow out" of a tongue tie- in fact, in many cases you "grow into" it with more concerns arising with age.
